For a year now, I've been struggling with picking a graphics package for the GMC. I'm going to break down and have a graphics person do some layouts for me. So far after searching all I can find is the drawings for a 26'.
Does anyone have a line drawing for the 23'?
BTW, I'm thinking of a simple paint scheme using White and Silver. If anyone has pics of a coach in these colors please pass them along. I'm looking for inspiration and promise not to make a direct copy of your layout.
Thanks,
Ken

Ken,
Do you have a graphics person in mind?
I have a 26' and asked him to do a layout for me. He seemed interested. I
just did some vinyl graphics for him for one of his customer's fleet
graphics projects. He wanted me to price it for him - but, I'd rather he
did the design work for me. I haven't provided the drawings to him yet.
I'll hold off if you can find the drawings for the 23'. I know the cost
will be extremely reasonable - if there is any. He could probably take the
26' drawings and adapt them to the 23' if we had a good side profile.
Since, my coach is a Glacier, I am thinking of going with a blue/grey scheme
(29th Diviision colors).
Let me know if you are interested,
Thanks,

Fischer and Boyd both pointed you to the link where my files reside. Do you
want them in SVG format? If so, I can provide them. Just write me offnet.
Front and rear, of course, are same as 26.
Samples of my finished work are there and scattered throughout the GMCEast
website.

Byron,
Got your JPG's from the GMCES site. Very nice work sir. That was just what I was looking for thanks. I'll mess with those this week and post what we settle on.
This morning my wife and I dug through a few more web pages and we are starting to get a sense of what we like. As a result I'm thinking a "less is more" approach might be the way we go and skip the graphics. So far the standout favorite is this one
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=35091&title=02341&cat=500
The color scheme is simple, elegant and timeless. I plan to have this coach for many years to come so if I follow the KISS principle this layout will be in style anytime.
For the color, were leaning toward more of a Platinum color at this time. I figure the lighter the better due to how short the 23 is. The dark colors seem to make it look top or bottom heavy depending where the band of color is.
What do you think?
